The Sipp on South Lamar

Food quality disappointing, crawfish app way over cooked, charcuterie board easily forgettable, service / waiter poor. A place to go for drinks, nice bar area with very good wine and spirits selection, but restaurant was absolutely forgettable. One would think a place with such a limited limited limited menu, the food would be to die for, not here! $367 for a party of four, and I would've been much more satisfied eating at Opah or Boure.

First the pros: ambiance and service are great. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were very attentive and personable. Cons: the food. I ordered the Cauliflower wings and the scallops "atop wilted spinach and beurre blanc". The cauliflower was extremely heavily breaded. Extremely. Wasn't expecting that and it was disappointing. I had to peel off the breading and the discards almost filled the bowl it was served in. The scallops were a good size, but unfortunately very very sandy. I had to send them back. Also I had to ask what happened to the spinach and they told me it was under the scallops. There was about one leaf of spinach under each scallop. Not exaggerating. I sent it back, which is something I RARELY do. I couldn't find anything else on the menu that wasn't fried or pasta. I like to eat low-gluten (not allergic just know I feel better without it) and there were no options on this menu besides the scallops and maybe the salmon, which I didn't try. They quickly agreed to take the scallops off the bill (didn't seem surprised at all that I didn't like them) but I don't think I would ever go back, except for to get some drinks from the bar area.

If I could give more stars I totally would! It was the best time! My friend and I were coming from out of town to go to a concert at the Lyric so we had to find some yummy food beforehand. First off, I love tapas-style restaurants so this peaked my interest right when I saw the menu. There is not a parking lot, but there were some street parking and a lot that you have to pay for. We didn't have any trouble finding a spot close by but a weekend might be a different story. Our waiter was the absolute nicest and he answered any and all questions we had about the menu!For our meal, we ordered crispy Brussels sprouts, Goat cheese and Fig Bruschetta, General Homie's Cauliflower wings, and Beef Empanadas. It was very hard to choose! Everything was full of flavor and really tasty, but if I had to pick one it might have been the Goat cheese and fig Bruschetta and the brussels sprouts are a close second. But all were really good! I order the lady love as my first drink, and I'm not much of a tequila girl, but it was mixed really well and you could taste the strawberry. For my second drink, I asked if the bartender could surprise me with a rum-based drink. When I received it the waiter said you should feel like you were at the beach, and it totally did feel like that! Quite delicious. Wishing this restaurant could move to Memphis because I would go back all the time. If you're in town, definitely check it out, you won't regret it!

We chose this restaurant on a whim and so happy we did! It's a tapas style restaurant and everything we got was amazing! Our waiter was kind and very helpful in explaining how to order and what to get! They had both small and large plates. We would definitely come again!

OMG!!! You have to go to this place!! We were trying to find a place in Oxford that want your typical bar food, and thankfully found The Sip!! We came in right before last call and ordered cauliflower "wings", Brussels sprouts and bruschetta.... 5 stars for each item! I know it's a wine place but I ordered a lemon drop martini and it was excellent Atmosphere was perfect and they have outside dining as well.

I stopped by this lovely tapa & wine restaurant on the Square because I was hearing from friends to check it out. Upon entering it has beautiful decor with TVs at the bar for sports. I sat at the bar to indulge in the drinks & light bites. They have an extensive wine list with even multiple options of port wine, which I love! And they offer flights. I ordered the goat cheese & fig bruschetta and was able to add some pieces of prosciutto to it because I didn't need an entire board. I was grateful for that & it was delicious! I had two of their signature cocktails which were good but not anything exciting. The chicken fettuccine pasta was ok. I could've tried something else. Overall, it's a beautiful spot to catch up with friends and share some food items and enjoy some wine!

If I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars I would. I visited from out of town on a Tuesday night and was seated very quickly. Our waiter was great. Very sociable and well informed when we had questions about the dishes. Everything on the menu looked great but in the end we decided to get the crispy Brussel sprouts, Goat cheese and Fig Bruschetta, and the Beef Empanadas. Each plate was great. It's hard to pick a favorite and you can't go wrong with either. We had only planned on getting three plates but the food was so good we ended up ordering the Cauliflower wings as well which did not disappoint. The drinks were also great! I cannot recommend the key lime pie cocktail enough. It was one of my favorite that I've ever had and tasted exactly like a slice of pie. Everything we had was great I was only sad that I was full and couldn't taste more. Great sultry nighttime atmosphere and they have a spacious outdoor patio. We were able to find parking in a lot but I could see it being more of an issue on the weekend since it seems to be a big college hangout area. Wish we lived closer so I could come back but next time I'm in Oxford I'll be stopping by.

The food was super good and the service was amazing! This place is like a hidden gem. Although it is slightly hard to find it is so worth it! My family got a bunch of different things and we all picked at everything! It was all so good. I also loved that they had small and large portions of everything depending on how much food you wanted!

What was supposed to be a fun and festive evening for the Bride to Be was ruined by the unprofessional and disrespectful attitude of Tyler, the manager. We placed a reservation, on January 21st, for what we thought would be the party room, only to have our party of 12, seated in an alternate location, without any justification. When we questioned the seating arrangement, Tyler became condescending and refused to listen. My guests and I were made to feel inferior by his behavior.As a first time patron to the establishment, I was disappointed with the service we received from Tyler. Witnessing this incident has tainted my perception of The Sipp.

Good food, and Great drinks! Love the appetizer menu here, but the main menu items are just fine. Very dimly lit but still a cool vibe inside!! Cauliflower Wings and Goat Cheese and Fig Bruschetta are a MUST TRY!
